[QUOTE="Un4GivN, post: 487969, member: 8782"] Not to be a pessimist about the whole defense, but I dont think there is ONE area that needs improvement. I think when you look at the defense as a whole they are OK. The problem in my eyes is there isnt enough playmakers, whether is a DL that can get some pressure and collapse the pocket, a linebacker that can stiffen up against the big tightends, or a ball-hawking safety I think they are all valid arguements. 2010 when the Packers won the super bowl, the defense had those difference makers... Tramons interception in Philly to seal the game, Atlanta to break it open. Mathews and Jenkins sack on Matt Ryan, Shields in the Chicago game, and of course Nick Collins Super Bowl TD, and Mathews strip fumble. Along the way to that season Woodson was just dominate in his case for Defensive Player of the Year. I remember him knifing in on a goaline situation and making a one of the best takles I had ever seen from a defensive back on a goaline situation. Those type of plays are the ones that kill drives, force punts, and turnovers. And I think the Packers over the past two years are lacking that type of play. Tramon is a shell of himself, no safety has replace Collins playmaking ability, and the DL misses Jenkins. Until some players at any level can pick up that intensity or play making ability the Packers are going to have a hard time with sufficient players... [/QUOTE]
